== Geography == {{Further|Geography of Afghanistan}} [[File:Puli Alam.jpg|thumb|[[Puli Alam]], the capital of Logar province.]] Logar can be generally described as a relatively flat river valley in the north and central regions, surrounded by rugged mountains to the east, south, and southwest. The district of Azra, in the east, consists almost entirely of mountains, while travel to the Paktia Province to the south is limited to the [[Tera Pass]], a 2896 m high road that was recently completed as part of the international reconstruction effort in Afghanistan. The Kabul-Khost Highway runs north–south through Logar Province, from the Mohammed Agha District. The government of Afghanistan officially recognizes all the districts of the Logar province as part of the province. === Capital city=== Puli Alam, which is located in the district of Puli Alam, serves as the capital of Logar province. It is connected by a highway to [[Kabul]] in the north and [[Gardez]] to the southeast. The highway to Kabul was completed in 2006. Additional projects include numerous schools, radio stations, government facilities, and a major Afghan National Police base situated south of the city. Like many Afghan cities, there is municipal planning and services. During the tenure of President [[Ashraf Ghani]] the city gained electricity, clean drinking and water facilities.
